In the absence of a public water distribution network, rural areas obtain their water supply from surface and/or groundwater sources, where microbial quality is often unknown. Because adenoviruses are highly persistent in water and widely distributed in the environment, they have become an important group of enteric viruses and may potentially be involved in waterborne outbreaks. https://www.academia.edu/3143-0481/2/3/10.20935/AcadImmunoDis8447?email_action=download
